According to the complaint, on Oct. 23, 2014, Negron was walking across the school on a paved sidewalk when she was caused to trip on a "cracked or fractured part" of the sidewalk near the school's entrance that was also in an area where a light was inoperable.

The suit says the defendant was negligent in its management of the sidewalk, for allowing it to remain in a hazardous condition, for letting the light remain unfixed and for failing to provide adequate lighting, warn the plaintiff about a hazard, properly repair the sidewalk and light, and inspect the area adequately.

As a result, the lawsuit states, the plaintiff suffered permanent, personal and pecuniary injuries.

Negron seeks damages of more than $100,000, plus costs. She is represented by attorneys J. Thomas Chute and Nicholas V. DeAgostino of TurcyChute in Chicago.
